Little love
I had a fabulous time yesterday evening at the opening night of “Big Love”, a play written by Charles Mee and directed by my friend Joanna Garfinkel. It was a very enjoyable performance to watch, and kept me fully engaged the whole time. The cast is delightful and well cast in their roles, and the staging is fun and makes good use of the space.
I felt the woman characters were more fully realized than the males, (which I’m okay with) but maybe that’s just because I could identify the three brides as different aspects of my personality. I really loved this play and hope it does well during the run. It was a sold out performance yesterday evening.

Life is a vast and intricate conspiracy designed to keep us well supplied with blessings. What kind of blessings? Palatial homes, attractive lovers, lottery winnings, career success? Maybe. But just as
likely: interesting surprises, unexpected challenges, gifts we hardly know what to do with, conundrums that force us to get smarter.Novelist William Vollman referred to the latter types of blessings when he said that “the most important and enjoyable thing in life is doing something that’s a complicated, tricky problem for you that you don’t know how to solve.”
excerpted from the book
“PRONOIA IS THE ANTIDOTE FOR PARANOIA: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings” by Rob Brezny
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
~ William Saroyan
Light through yonder window
The essence of the spiritual path lies only in the beauty of the ordinariness, in the mundane, and in freedom of separation between the spiritual and the ordinary.
~ Dr. Thynn Thynn

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
~ Agnes Repplier
One blink of an eye away
We already have everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves – the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we’re good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds – never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake.
~ Pema Chodron
The Red tree
I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
~ Helen Keller
I’m off on a much needed christmas getaway in the BC interior over the holidays, and definitely can use the change of scene. I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing Christmas. Remember to be good to those you love, and especially to yourself.
As the crow strolls
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Lost in prayer
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face , kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.
~ Mother Theresa
